Biography
GENRE:
Raw garage bluesrock from the Netherlands.
“Raw, eerie and dangerous” Blues Magazine really couldn’t have picked better words to describe Dutch five piece Black Operator. Formed at the tail end of 2016 and influenced by artists like The Kills, The Black Keys, Nick Cave and good old Johnny Cash it wasn’t long before the Dutch music scene took notice of Black Operator’s pounding and catchy garage blues rock.
Their popularity gained steam after their first two singles ‘Mr. Preacherman’ and the thrilling murder ballad ‘Marita’ both made their way to the top of the Dutch Indie Chart. This resulted in the band playing at numerous festivals and venues all over the country.
Early 2018 Black Operator was selected out of no less than 1200 contenders to take part in the critically acclaimed Dutch travelling festival Popronde 2018. After a short break due to recording sessions and lineup changes Black Operator is back in the saddle with their smashing debut album.
